Project Description

Xplanet was inspired by Xearth, which renders an
image of the earth into the X root window. All of
the major planets and most satellites can be
drawn, similar to JPL's Solar System Simulator. A
number of different map projections are also
supported, including azimuthal, Mercator,
Mollweide, orthographic, and rectangular.
